Symphony No. 5

Album by Anton Bruckner & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Eugene Ormandy

Symphony No. 5 is the fifth symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, completed in 1876. The work is an expansive late-Romantic symphony characterised by complex polyphony, dense brass textures and large-scale formal architecture, and it represents a pivotal step in Bruckner's development of orchestral form and sonority within his symphonic output.
First released: 2nd June 1992
